The BEC on a MM/VXL will still get warm with 3s - its ok but I prefer to use a bec to keep temps down.

Bigger the servo more amps and hence hotter bec... MM Pro would be the best thing but not out yet.

Considering the experience of other uses I would give the hw80 a try with that motor on 3s. Seems to be a solid esc, although I have no experience with them. Plus it has a switching bec so you can run up to 4s without having to use and external bec. The MM does run cooler on 3s with an external bec. Since it has a linear bec any voltage over 6v has to be bled off as heat, so 12+v out of a 3s lipo has to be cut in half, fair amount of heat there.
